THE figures of the Virginia election have to
be revised again. --latest returns show Dem
ocratic majority of only 426. The election, it
will be remembered, was for members of the
Legislature. The State having been districted
in the interest of the Democracy, they OBJ
tanned decided majority in the Legislature
but on the aggregate vote their majority was
only 426. Another such victory would be a
defeat. The result reveals political situa-
ton of great interest. It places Virginia
among the doubtful States in the next presi-
Dental election. The Democratic majority in
that State has been steadily decreasing for
several years past, and has now reached point
that makes it entirely feasible to wipe it out
with one more effort. To do this should be
one of the objective points of the Republican
plan of campaign. One more effort and Vir-
ginia, the mother of Presidents and the birth
place of Thomas jefferson. will be counted
among Republican States. It is result worth
working for.

THERE is vague suspicion that the Rev.
Mr.. Berry will not accept the call to Plymouth
Church after all. and it begins to look as if
that congregation would be compelled to look
about in America for a pastor. DR.. Parker
might have come if ne had been asked prior
to that disastrous lecture trip, but he goes
away from US rather under cloud, and will
probably never want to return. 1t will be
hard thing to get any of note here to
cept call from that peculiar people which the
personality of Mr.. Beecher so long held to-
gether. because they started out to fill his
place with foreign talent, and self-respecting
man would naturally feel that he was second
choice and would decline to help them out.
They have handicapped themselves in the
matter. and the future of that famous congre-
cation is likely to be stormy one, with pros
poets of final disintegration. With Beecher
gone they seem to have lost their balance

Those who hold the distinction of being with

which will take place in this city inside of three
months. Those who have the matter in charge

forfeit from the London Chess Club, in
the telegraph match that was being
played between St. Petersburg and London,
to the chess congress. The money is claimed
because the time limit for the answer to
move expired before the return move was tee
grapbed. AS much interest in the forthcoming
congress exists among the players in Europe as
among the American followers of the game.
Replies have been received from nearly all the
prominent players that they will be present

a GOVERNMENT TELReRaPH.

Mr.. Powderly is in New York collecting
information to be used by the Knights of
Labor in their attempt to induce the govern
ment to establish telegraph system of its
own. He is reported as saying that the
Knights have determined to favor that policy
and will use all their influence to induce Con-
gress to act in the matter this winter. The
Knights have no interest in the premises diff
ferent from those of the community at large
and they had better make very thorough
study of the subject and be sure they are
right before they go ahead. From intima-
reason to believe that the principal motive
actuating the Knights in this matter is de-
sire to injure Jay Gould, the principal owner
of the Western Union telegraph system. by
crushing him with government competition.
In the opinion of the Journal that is a selfish,
unpatriotic and short-sighted motive, and one
which should find no place in the considera-
ton of so important a matter. The question
of government telegraph is one of great
and far-reaching Importance, involving a
radical change of governmental pol
icy and departure in our
political ideas. Such question should be
considered and settled on very different and
far higher grounds than those of personal hos
tility to any individual Admitting the un-
popularity of Jay Gould and all that may be
said or imagined against him, we submit that
has nothing to do with the question of gov
eminent telegraph An injury to Jay Gould
or driving him out of the telegraph business
at loss, even if that could be DONE which is
not probable, would be poor compensation for
change of governmental policy that might
involve only disastrous results, and perhaps
prove very dangerous precedent. Jay Gould is
altogether too insignificant to be permitted to
cut any figure in the settlement of so impor-
tant question. Some of the vital questions
involved are, first, whether the establishment
of government telegraph is constitutional,
and then whether it would inure to the pub
lie welfare; whether it would be wise and
safe policy; whether it is desirable. and whether
at some of the questions involved, and which
ought to receive most careful consideration in
all their bearings With it's present views,
the Journal is opposed to a government tele-
graph or to government control of the tele-
graphs, both for reasons of public policy and
of practical business nature, and we believe
that when the question comes to the test of
close, careful, candid examination, the YER
dict of the people will be to that effect
Meanwhile, it is to be hoped the question may
be considered on its merits and in relation to
the great interests involved, and not with
reference to spiting Jay Gould anybody
else. A great government can hardly do
business on the basis of personal malice, even
when directed toward a man whose business
methods are so universally and justly exc
Grated as those of Jay Gould.

A NEW RAILROAD SCHEME:

We understand that parties with
large railroad experience, and ample capital
are about to build an air line railroad from
Lake Superior to the Missouri river. It will
be direct, independent line having
no alliances with any existing or,
ganiztion. It is intimated by some
who claim to know that tho Missouri
river terminus will be in the neighborhood OF
Forest City, DIT. AS soon as the Sioux res
ervatlon is opened it is the intention of the
capitalists engaged in the great enterprise
to extend the line to the Black Hills OF be-
You'd. 1t is estimated that the road will
cost, completed and equipped from the lake
to the river, about eight million dollars,
and every dollar OF the capital is already
subscribed.
